rocks must be fused at no great depth.
In fact, at this rate of increase the tenn
perature at 200 miles is 10000 Fahren-
heit, which is Professor Rosetti's esti-
mate of the probable temperature of the
sun 1t is improbable, however, that this
distance, and many physicists believe
that at some unknown, but not very
great depth, the increase in temperature
ceases.
One of the most wonderful things in
the study of sciences is the fact that the
mysteries of one science are sometimes
completely or partly explained by
knowledge CLEANED in some other depart
ment of study. It is thus that the
naturalists who have investigated the
fauna and flora of scores of Pacific
islands have learned how far south
Aslatic types prevail, and have added
great weight to the conclusions of
biologists that these islands were once a
part of the big continent north of them
Now, it is very likely that as knowledge
increases we will be able to learn some
important facts about the interior
of the earth through our better &C
qualntance with the phenomena &C.
curing on its surface. All people
who use the magnetic compass are
aware that often the needle is subject to
great disturbances. The cause of these
magnetic variations is now a mystery,
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1887-10-08

rocks are buried in time under
everything strata which serve as a
blanket to keep in the enormous heat of
the interior. This heat turns the water
into super-heated steam, which melts the
hardest rocks, and when the steam finds
assure in the strata above, it breaks
through to the surface with terrific en-
ergy, and we have volcano. We find
that these outpourings that have lain
for countless ages many thousands of
feet below the surface are we'll adapted to
serve the purposes of man. Many vine
yard t1ourishes on the volcanic ashes
from Vesuvius and volcanic mud has
clothed the hills of New Zealand with
fine forests and it's plains with lux
uriant verdure. The most wonderful dis
play of the results of volcanic energy
is seen in the northwestern corner of
our own land, a region of lofty forests
and of great fertility.
There are good reasons why we
cannot pursue researches in the
interior of craters. When q volcano
becomes extinct it usually clogs up
its crater with matter which it,
forces are unable TO expel
and there is no longer a passage
between the interior and the outer
world. Active volcanoes may remain
dormant for centuries, but from their
craters are usually emerging vapors
charged with carbonic dioxide to a de-

new light, perhaps, upon the mighty
forces that are pent up within the crust
on which we live.
While borings and mines reveal to us
only few secrets relating solely to the
temperature and constitution of the
earth for few thousand feet below the
surface, we are able, by means of vol
canoes, to form some notion of what is
going on at greater depths. There have
been many theories about the causes of
volcanoes, but it is now generally held
that though they are produced by the in
tense hest of the interior of the earth
they are not directly connected with the
molten mass that lies many miles below
the immediate sources of volcanic en-
ergy. Everybody knows that many rocks
are formed on the floor of the ocean, and
it has been found that twentieth to
seventh of their weight is made
up of imprisoned water. Now, these

northern attitudes doubtless exists, and
the reason is that there is found the
greatest cold that has been experienced
in northern latitudes. 1t is mistake to
suppose that the weather is colder the
further north one goes. The northern
pole Of greatest cold is only about 800
miles northeast of Yakutsk, where the
mean annual temperature is little lower
than in the highest ATTITUDES reached by
Mares and Greedy, 1000 miles further
north.
Many scientific men are devoting their
lives to finding out all that can be learned
about the interior of this wonderful
globe of ours. One of the interesting
problems on which they are engaged is
the depth and geographical limits of per-
manently frozen soil. The British Asso-
citation is now collecting large amount
of data on this question. They have
already told us some curious things, such
as the fact that excellent wheat lands
north of Manitoba overlie frozen earth
that never thaWs.
Sometimes biologists find strata of
rocks that they are able to show must
have been buried at remote age 10000
feet under the surface. These upturned
edges of rock, which some terrible con-
vulsion lifted to the air, giveus glimpse
of the condition of the interior some
ways below the greatest depth to which
we can attain. But, after all, what we
are able to examine of the earth be-
meath our feet is hardly more than
what pin prick on the skin of an
apple shows Of the fruit within. The
Workmen in the deepest mines of Eu
rope swelter in almost intolerable heat,
and yet they have never penetrated
over one seven thousandth part of the dis
lance from the surface to the centre of
the earth. In the lower levels of some
of the Comstock mines the men fought
scalding water, and could labor only
three or four hours at time until the
Sutro tunnel pierced the mines and drew

big hole with boards and decided that
river water was good enough for him.
The Imperial Academy of Sciences at
St. Petersburg heard this remarkable
story and they thought it good idea to
see how far frost extended toward the
centre of the earth at Yakutsk. So they
sent men to resume digging, and kept up
the work for many months. When they
had reached & lepth of 3S2 feet, and
were still in solidly frozen ground, they
gave up the job, carefully covered the
well to exclude the external air, and
finally sent scientific man to take the
temperatures throughout the well. From
these observations the conclusion was
reached that the ground on which
Yakutsk stands, excepting a few
feet at the surface, which thaWs out in
summer, Is perpetually frozen to depth
Of 6I2 feet. In that region the greatest
depth of permanently frozen soil in
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1887-10-08

off some of the terrible heat, which had
stood at 1902. The deepest boring ever
made, that at Sperenberg, near Berlin,
penetrates only 4, 172 feet, about 1000 feet
deeper than the famous artesian well at
ST. Louis
The result of this imperfect knowledge
is that there are more theories and dis
putes among scientific men with regard
to the interior of the earth than about
any other problems of physical science.
